Dr. Marjorie Melnick Heymann, Psychologist and former theater director, is a Lecturer in Psychiatry at Columbia University. She will be interviewed by

Dr. Evelyn Montanez, Ph.D, from NYU's Silver School of Social Work and is currently the program manager of elementary school based mental health promotion and prevention programs at New York Presbyterian Hospital.

Dr. Heymann's program, Communication Through Theater, uses professional theater/acting techniques to help medical professionals improve skills that are critical to the doctor/patient relationship. Using dialogues, scripts, and written characters/patients specially created for this training, doctors get to practice and observe each other as they improve their communication skills. The main components of the program that will be addressed during this interview include:

- being present;

- active listening;

- active empathy; and

- the final component where doctors, as themselves in their real life roles - interview patients played by other doctors.

Next chat is with Sr Associate Atlhletic Director, Jacqueline Blackett of Columbia University on www.chatinthegarden.com Tuesday, March 31st at 11:30 am est as we talk to this veteran Athletic Administrator who has served Columbia for plus years mostly in the area of student athlete services.

Today we live in a world where the majority of our food contains known toxic substances. Slowly even the establishment is admitting this. Such as the WHO finally admitting that RoundUp (the most popular herbicide in agriculture) likely causes cancer, WHO Admission Here. Keep in mind anything with soy as an ingredient in the US that is not certified organic likely contains significant amounts of Roundup, as soy is mostly now a “round up ready” crop.

I could go on but at this point it is clear, when one of the biggest names in sustainable agriculture has to write a book called, “Everything I Want to do is Illegal“, the problem could not be more evident. Today we continue a multi part series we began last week with our show on education on reclaiming our sovereign rights as men and women in a world of ever increasing tyranny.

If you are tired of living your life dictated by your primitive survival or lower brain, the one that keeps you in the grip of stress, fear, anxiety, reactive impulse, addiction, frustration and resistance to change, then you shouldn’t miss this timely interview!

Zach Polsfuss shares with us how life can be far better … when you’re able to live from your largely untapped higher brain: the creative, expansive, confident, connected, intellectually stimulated, healthy, problem-solving and change-adapting part of your physiology? Wouldn’t life be far better? And can’t we do more?

This new breakthrough simply releases a surge of energy into your largely untapped higher brain. It breaks the hold that the survival brain has on us – the destructive patterns that keep us mired in our stress-driven, often addictive lives – and shifts the operational mode to the higher brain. It’s like going from low gear to high. The process is called Higher Brain Living®(HBL) and it is being introduced to individuals by trained facilitators globally. And the San Francisco Bay Area is about to get a first-hand look at this healthcare revolution on April 27.

If you follow the enterprise networking press (and really, why wouldn't you?) then you would be excused for thinking that SDN is the only thing that matters in the world of moving bits from place to place. The truth, though, is that the vast majority of networks deployed today are still defined by switches, routers, and old-fashioned configuration methods rather than by software.

In this episode of Interop Radio we'll be talking about all the networks that aren't SDN and why these "traditional" networks are still important -- and still evolving. Our guest, Ethan Banks, is co-host of the popular Packet Pushers Podcast and a speaker in the conference at Interop Las Vegas. What sort of thing might we discuss? We could start with one of these:

Interop 2015 will take place from April 27th through May 1st at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center in Las Vegas, NV. More information and registration details are available online!
